EP43 So long, and thanks for all the leads
The Intent Illusion: Working Digital Ups Without Losing Your Soul
Let’s be real—most leads don’t go cold.
They go ignored.
Buried alive in CRMs marked “Hot” from last week. Or last year.
In EP43 of my podcast AutoKnerd, we break down the deals we never even knew we lost.
Not because the customer bought elsewhere.
But because we never followed up.
Or we followed up like a bored intern reading a script in slow motion.
Here’s what’s inside:
Why responding within 5 minutes makes you 21x more likely to win the deal
The “Text > Call > Email” method that doesn’t make you sound desperate
Real-world redemption scripts to revive dead leads
Why bad follow-up isn’t a strategy problem—it’s a values problem
I made this for consultants, managers, and BDC pros who still care.
And yeah—it’s got stats, sarcasm, and some Skippy snark baked in.
